Is Igweocha and oyigbo located in any of the 5 Eastern States? If its not then you are a big fool for including them in your Biafran nonsense.

Besides there are some streets named after igbos in Lagos, why not go claim ownership na.


That a street in yorubaland bears an Igbo name does not mean it belongs to an Igbo.

It's a bit encouraging that I haven't seen any Igbo Rivers group or non-governmental Igbo leader from Rivers or otherwise condemn these peaceful protesters, yet. Until an Igbo community in Rivers condemns these protesters, or outrightly rejects a 'Biafra', all other messages are irrelevant.

NB: "Port Harcourt" is Igboland, Igbo people do not confine themselves to that fabrication called 'south east' and 'south south'.

Lol thieves, all igbos in all States in Nigeria have representatives in Ohaneze ndigbo. Have you forgotten the recent Ondo incident so soon?



Just because you lots are everywhere doesn't mean you should start laying claim to what's not yours.

There is a huge difference between State of Origin and State where you were born.

Do a research your great grandparents were migrants in Rivers State.

For instance I am originally from Edo State, just because I didn't grow up there or know much about my State doesn't mean I should forget that's were my family came from.


Its a simple logic so use your brain please.

Are these people still on this matter

God forbid I would wake up every morning and bleat about a prospective country with a great future accompanying it....as if God is going to run the affairs of that country himself.

I wonder how many times they need to be told that the solution to their plight is good governance and not secession. They cry 'No....We are hated in this country. Therefore we want out.'

I've looked at the agitators' case critically and have been able to diagnose two possibilities, the second one actually the more probable;

It is either these people are actually hated, or, THEY ARE SUFFERING FROM AN EXTREME CASE OF PERSECUTION-COMPLEX, thanks to one misleading pale demagogue who has been feeding them with half-truths.

Its glaring that your IQ is low. Oyigbo and igweocha are INDIGENOUS IGBO COMMUNITIES....you are the one who hasn't been doing your research. Check even the references cited stated in Wikipedia to cure you of this self inflicted ignorance.

Other researchers have cited the same as well.

Let them start Biafra with the 5 south east states and then others may join...but considering the poverty and underdevelopment in those states I don't think Biafra is a very attractive option for SS.

History has it that when the Biafra war become too hot Ojukwu abandoned the people and fled. A south south man had to take over the war and subsequently surrendered. I dont think SS will be fooled twice.

The reaction of PH residents was worse than other SS people. PH residents (who some are calling Igbos) took over the houses left behind by the Igbos just as the notherners did.

Now go do your research on what nigeria soldier did to indigenious civillian people of PH during civil war just because they are igbos but when they conquer benin(which is biafra land then) they didnt kill indigenious people of benin rather they kill innocent civillian igbos(mostly delta igbo) who were resident in benin but unable to escape but benin people help identify them in their hidding place and they were kill. That is why benin will never be part of biafra.

You shameless Italian. Never ever in your miserable life compare your Edo witch conundrum with us who are genuinely from Rivers. Nonsense. If you no get sense you would have known that those names that spoke out, spoke on behalf of their own people. Except these Ijaw group have you ever seen other Igboid groups speak out against the Biafran agitation. Use your tongue to count your teeth. Rivers state is a conglomerate of many ethnicities. The same way an Itshekiri cannot speak for an Urhobo, is the same way a Kalabari cannot speak for an Ikwerre. Dey use your head.

Sorry there was no biafra land anywhere...There is Nigeria and Mid western state was part of Nigeria.

Where was Biafran map drawn?

Most people of the SS were just caught up in a war and had to choose a side or be killed by both sides. As the goovernor of eastern region Ojukwu had the leverage over SS, which was then part of eastern region. Now that things are clearly defined SE will first have to motivate themselves before involving other regions
